In this undated photo provided by the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, Cecil the lion rests in Hwange National Park, in Hwange, Zimbabwe. Walter Palmer of suburban Minneapolis killed the lion named Cecil on a big game hunting trip earlier this month. Police have not said whether Palmer will face criminal charges in Zimbabwe. Palmer said in a statement that he was unaware the lion was protected and relied on his guides to ensure a legal hunt.

Artist Mark Balma paints a huge mural of Cecil in Dr. Walter Palmer's parking lot on July 29, 2015 at River Bluff Dental in Bloomington, Minn. Bala went to school in the Twin Cities and was visiting friends when he decided to come down for a "silent protest" against Dr. Walter Palmer and the illing of the lion in ZImbabwe. He also painted the frescoes at the University of St. Thomas Law School. He hopes to see the painting to raise money for wildlife preservation efforts.
